Polaris Gen 3 Seat Lowering and Reclining Base Adapter

These seat bases were designed to work with the stock seats. We try to make these bases fit as many seats and applications as possible but can’t guarantee they will work with everything. So far they have been tested with Simpson (formerly Twisted Stitch) seats, PRP seats and Pro Armor Seats. The amount of adjustment with Simpson seats is limited due to the seat latch hitting the bottom of the seat.  The bases DO NOT work with Beard seats, Corbeau, or Triple X seats because the seat latch interferes with the steel seat frame at the rear.  Contact us for information on testing new applications risk free.

4 seaters with stock cages will be limited on how far back the seat can slide due to the bar on the cage directly behind the seat. You can either use it that way or cut that bar off to utilize the full range of adjustment and lowering of the seat base.  The front seats on the General 4 seater will rub on the front seatbelt housing when used with a stock roll cage and factory seat belt positions while the seat is adjusted to the rear most positions.  The stock Turbo S 4 seat cage limits how far back the seat can be adjusted where the 4 point seat belts mount to the cross tube.

RS1 cannot use the last 3 notches in the seat slider. The bottom of the seat base touches the fuel tank cover but still fits and works. You will still lower your head more than 1″ (see picture.) I still had plenty of leg room and I’m 5’11”, 200lbs.

General’s have a firewall that is more upright than a RZR.  Although this base fits the machine, it was designed for the RZR.  If used in the General, the seat will have to move forward some to clear the firewall plastic.  The plastic at the bottom can be heated and pushed down some for more clearance to push the seat further back.  We highly recommend the Gen 4 seat bases for use in the General’s instead of the Gen 3 seat bases.

Gen 3 and Gen 4 seat base differences.  Gen 3 seat bases recline 7 degrees and lower your head approximately 2″.  That means that some machines will require the seat to be moved forward some if the top of the seat is hitting the firewall or is hitting the harness tube on 4 seaters.  The Gen 4 seat base has 3 recline settings via carriage bolts.  Depending on the set of holes the carriage bolts are installed into, the seat will be reclined 3.5 degrees (1.5″ head lowering), 5.2 degrees (1.75″ head lowering), or 7 degrees (2″ head lowering).  The slider notches are also laser cut into the Gen 4 seat base so you don’t reuse the factory zinc coated part.  The Gen 4 also has longer slots and an extra notch to possibly gain leg room in 4 seat machines with aftermarket cages that have the harness bar further back than the factory bar.

Warranty Information:  Rock Ready UTV seat bases have a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser.  The warranty covers the structural steel plate portion of the seat base.  Misuse or seat bases that have been modified from the new condition will not be warrantied.  The powder coating, latches, and hardware are not covered by the warranty.
